The Supreme Court denied an effort by Missouri officials to reinstate a new congressional map for the November election after the Missouri Supreme Court ruled voters would have to approve the new map via a ballot measure.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh, the justice assigned to handle emergency petitions from Missouri, denied the emergency application, declining to elaborate on his decision. The order late Tuesday means the Missouri Supreme Court ruling reinstating the congressional map used during the 2022 and 2024 elections, and placing the new congressional map up for a vote, remains in effect.
